Aloe Vera Survival First Aid Uses

Aloe Vera has a plethora of beneficial properties. The inexpensive
green plant adorns the kitchen windows of millions of folks around the
globe and is routinely cultivated by preppers as well. Folks who merely
grow the plant so it can be broken open to be applied to burns are
missing out on some of the best ways to extract its healing powers.

Alexander the Great is believed to have ordered his army to travel
from Greece to an island near Somalia just to find a crop of Aloe Vera
plants. The plant naturally grows in East Africa and the Mediterranean
region, Egypt, and Greece. A study by Japanese scientists after World
War 2 reportedly found that individuals who had rubbed Aloe Vera onto
their skin after potentially being exposed to radiation had a far lower
rate of skin cancer than had been predicted.

The Aloe Vera plant is 99 percent water and one percent absorbable
solid. That tiny little non-water percent contains more than 200
bioactive constituents including a vast array of amino acids, minerals,
enzymes, vitamins, polymannans, fatty acids, and polysaccharides. Most
the properties of the plant are both healthy and helpful, but a few are
not. Separating the inner juice, or gel, from the outer leaf sap is
extremely. The leaf sap can have a toxic effect on the human body and
works as a strong laxative. Click here to read the rest of my Aloe Vera survival uses report on eFoodsDirect!

Shipping Container architecture is “taking the world by storm,” according to Popular Mechanics. Tiny homes are extremely popular with off the grid enthusiasts and folks seeking an affordable way to construct a vacation or retirement oasis. Recycling (or upcycling) shipping containers into energy efficient and environmentally friendly homes is also a very affordable way to create your dream home.
Standard shipping containers are about 8 feet wide and 8 feet tall and come in both 20- and 40-foot long styles. The average price of a long container is between $2,500 and $3,500.
The containers can be cut apart and welded back together to form rooms or a home two or three containers wide – or simply left together to form a single container home.
Excerpt from the interview with shipping container home builder Ryan Naylor: You are recycling, re-using, and upcycling a wide variety of materials for your container home. Such a plan helps keep the cost down and is extremely environmentally friend…

How many times have you heard someone say, “When the SHTF I am just going to bugout to the woods,” and think that such a “plan” is a simple and feasible idea? I have shaken my head in disbelief copious amounts of time when hearing a “kinda” prepper, utter such a phrase.
Although the woods (or forest as city people prefer to call it) offer a bounty of natural resources, you must possess the survival skills necessary to utilize and harvest them. Actually, getting to the woods from either the suburbs or a city will be a miraculous feat in itself!
Before you continue to plan on grabbing your brand-spanking new bugout bag and heading to the woods, weigh the potentially deadly pros and cons very, very carefully! When you arrive in the "woods" to escape the marauding hordes in the cities and suburbs, good country folks will be standing on the county line with their guns to make sure you do not take one step further!

Have you spent countless frustrating hours on the internet looking for homeschool curriculum materials to use when teaching your children? I am willing to bet this year's harvest that you didn't find a single one designed entirely with homesteading and prepper families in mind.

Sure, you can find plenty of free printables and how to directions for educational activities on the internet, but then you have to attempt to cobble them together into a comprehensive curriculum program. When you look down at the massive stack of printed worksheets that took you days to weeks to find, it doesn't take long to grasp how closely they resemble the type of work your child would be doing in public school - which is not at all what you intended when making the important decision to homeschool.

If you don't have the time, patience, satellite internet data, or professional background that permits you to design a homeschool curriculum all on your own, purchasing one from a conventional edu…
